Situated in ahaṅkara is the Lord with a thousand heads known as Saṅkārṣaṇa and also called Ananta, the cause of the mind, senses and gross elements. The deity to be worshiped is described. Yam means literally means “which is Ananta” but actually means “in which Ananta is situated.” The object and the person in the object are equated in the same manner that we say “The stadium shouted” when we mean “the people in the stadium shouted.”
